The present data set corresponds to the genotypes for seven microsatellite markers for three Antarctic sea urchin species of the genus Abatus. Sea urchin individuals were collected in five sites separated by up to 5 km in the near-shore area surrounding Davis Station in the Vestfold Hills Region, East Antarctica. For each microsatellite loci, the size of each allele was scored (in base pairs) using the CEQ 8000 Genetic Analysis System software v.8.0. Fragments were separated on an automated sequencer (CEQ 8000, Beckman Coulter) in the Central Science Laboratory at University of Tasmania.Purpose
Sampling Description
Quality Control
Samples from sampling sites OF1 and OF2 were collected during the 2009/2010 summer season. Samples from sampling sites OF, OF3 and OF4 were collected during the 2012/2013 summer season. Depths at which samples were collected: OF1: 4.5-7.0 m deep OF2: 10-12 m deep OF, OF3, OF4 equal or less than 4 m deep.Method steps
